    The service was subtly amazing …the 2-3 waiters were professional yet very personable, attentive, and thorough…Giome carefully wrapped the leftover appetizer and main (we couldn’t finish) before putting it in the takeout containers. The Snow Days special was an amazing value, with good portion sizes, & a nice unique variety of options. The Artic Char flavours were, layered and nuanced, with different textures (IE: crunchy nuts). Also enjoyed the, venue, ambience, & live music. Thoroughly enjoyed the Bison and will definitely be back! Thank-you!

    Every part of our dining experience at Lupo was outstanding. I know chef Justin Leboe from his Calgary days, winning all the awards for his restaurants. So it was great to see that his food continues to be full of flavour, variety and unexpected twists. We were a group of 9, and our server herded us cats expertly, getting happy hour drinks and snacks in under the wire. Everyone loved their pasta mains, especially my al Limone (perfect with a glass of Soave). The atmosphere is bright and busy and super friendly. Definitely try their happy hour 🥂

    A fantastic dining experience from start to finish. Our waiter was very polite, friendly and helpful. The food was absolutely amazing, we had oysters and prosecco and olives and pecorino to start…wonderful! Then elk meatballs in a tomato sauce with spaghetti and bison bolognaise with tagliatelle which was out of this world, so delicious I asked for some bread to wipe my bowl clean lol. Then a delicious panda cotta to finish. The cocktails were great too. I would highly recommend a meal here, you won’t be disappointed. A great ambience in a great restaurant.

    This is the best restaurant that I have ever dined in. Beef tenderloin was the best dish I have ever tasted; everything about it was amazing. Even though it says 4 course meals together it was about 9, so keep that in mind if you’re ordering the 7 course one. They even gave a pumpkin cake to enjoy for the next day. Service was also best of the best. Even though Canada doesn’t follow the Michelin guide this is probably a 2-star Michelin restaurant if you’re looking for a comparison. Please do me a favour and come to Eden!!!
